    Analyst Opinion

    The Music Events market in France has been experiencing significant growth in recent years, driven by changing customer preferences and local special circumstances.

    Customer preferences:
    One of the key customer preferences in the Music Events market in France is the desire for unique and immersive experiences. Customers are increasingly seeking out events that offer more than just live music performances. They want events that provide a complete sensory experience, incorporating elements such as visual effects, interactive installations, and themed environments. This shift in customer preference has led to the rise of music festivals that go beyond traditional concerts, offering a diverse range of activities and attractions.

    Trends in the market:
    One of the major trends in the Music Events market in France is the increasing popularity of outdoor music festivals. These festivals attract a large number of attendees from both France and abroad, and often span multiple days, with camping facilities available onsite. The appeal of outdoor festivals lies in the opportunity for attendees to enjoy music in a natural and relaxed setting, while also being able to explore various food and beverage options, participate in art installations, and engage in social activities. This trend has resulted in the growth of both large-scale, internationally renowned festivals, as well as smaller, niche events that cater to specific music genres or subcultures. Another trend in the market is the growing demand for music events that promote sustainability and eco-consciousness. Many music festivals in France have adopted eco-friendly practices, such as using renewable energy sources, implementing waste management systems, and encouraging attendees to carpool or use public transportation. This trend reflects the increasing importance of environmental consciousness among consumers, and has resonated particularly well with the younger demographic who are actively seeking out events that align with their values.

    Local special circumstances:
    France has a rich cultural heritage and a strong tradition of music appreciation. The country has produced many influential musicians and is home to renowned music venues and institutions. This cultural backdrop has created a fertile ground for the development of the Music Events market in France. Additionally, the French government has been supportive of the arts and has implemented policies to promote and preserve cultural activities, including music events. This support has helped to create an environment conducive to the growth of the market.

    Underlying macroeconomic factors:
    The growth of the Music Events market in France can also be attributed to favorable macroeconomic factors. France has a stable economy and a high disposable income per capita, which enables consumers to spend on leisure activities such as music events. Furthermore, the country attracts a large number of international tourists, who contribute to the demand for music events. The combination of a strong domestic market and a steady inflow of international visitors has created a robust demand for music events in France. In conclusion, the Music Events market in France is thriving due to changing customer preferences, such as the desire for unique experiences and sustainability, as well as local special circumstances, including France's rich cultural heritage and government support for the arts. Favorable macroeconomic factors, such as a stable economy and high disposable income, further contribute to the growth of the market.

    Methodology

    Data coverage:

    The data encompasses B2C enterprises. Figures are based on Gross Merchandise Value (GMV) and represent what consumers pay for these products and services. The user metrics show the number of customers who have made at least one online purchase within the past 12 months.

    Modeling approach / Market size:

    Market sizes are determined through a bottom-up approach, building on predefined factors for each market segment. As a basis for evaluating markets, we use annual financial reports of the market-leading companies, third-party studies and reports, as well as survey results from our primary research (e.g., the Statista Global Consumer Survey). In addition, we use relevant key market indicators and data from country-specific associations, such as GDP, GDP per capita, and internet connection speed. This data helps us estimate the market size for each country individually.

    Forecasts:

    In our forecasts, we apply diverse forecasting techniques. The selection of forecasting techniques is based on the behavior of the relevant market. For example, the S-curve function and exponential trend smoothing. The main drivers are internet users, urban population, usage of key players, and attitudes toward online services.

    Additional notes:

    The market is updated twice a year in case market dynamics change. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war are considered at a country-specific level. GCS data is reweighted for representativeness.
